Easy Cake From A Box Recipes

Some of our family favorite cakes from a box mix are the unforgettable The Best Rich and Moist Chocolate Cake. You can’t eat just one piece of this cake. It’s the most commonly requested birthday cake at any family party!

We love the chocolate version so much we made a version with strawberry cake mix, white chocolate pudding and white chocolate chips covered in whipped cream and drizzled with hot fudge. Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cake is so unique and easy! We couldn’t stop there so we made these Ultimate White Chocolate Cup Cakes!
